Founding Principal Engineer
Services
Building up from our marine and civil engineering roots,
CLE has grown into a multi-disciplined engineering firm
that can take a concept from inception through to
completion.
How do we turn your vision into a reality? We start by
making sure we first understand your vision and project
expectations, including any specific timeline or budgetary
constraints. We believe that these parameters are
essential to define at the forefront of all our projects
and that an open-line of communication is established
between you and our project manager. We begin with an
assessment of site conditions through field investigations,
and based upon our evaluation of field data, we engineer
the appropriate design and utilize our permitting expertise
to obtain the necessary permissions for implementation.

Marine & Waterfront Engineering
At CLE, our core specialty is working in the marine
and waterfront environments. Our client base is from
a broad and diverse spectrum. Our clients call on us
for our expertise and in-depth knowledge garnered from
decades of experience of working along the waterfront.
The CLE team consists of professional engineers and
scientists, who specifically understands the complexities
associated with designing shoreline infrastructure. From
concept to construction, we will set the course for
a successful and cost effective project.
CLE Services Include:
Shoreline Protection & Coastal Resiliency
Erosion, climate change and sea-level rise are at the
forefront of our design considerations when it comes
to shoreline protection. From rehabilitation to
reconstruction, CLE will find an appropriate engineering
solution that will restore and enhance coastal resiliency
against erosion, storm damage, flooding, and related
issues. CLE recognizes the importance of protecting our
shorelines as it relates to economic and community
sustainability and growth, but we also recognize that
shoreline protection projects must be carefully managed
so as not to compromise surrounding natural resources
and habitats.

Dredge Engineering & Material Management
CLE brings unsurpassed experience and knowledge
in dredge engineering and material management.
Our team includes ACSM-certified hydrographers who
know the waterfront and are experts in acquisition,
reduction and analysis of hydrographic survey data.
We offer expertise with various dredge material
management options, including upland beneficial
re-use and landfill disposal, beach nourishment and
confined/unconfined offshore disposal.
The key component to the successful implementation
of any dredging project is to establish a cost-effective
operation that addresses your needs and avoids/minimizes
adverse impacts to environmental resources. We generate
a product that meets your project goals within the
boundaries established by the regulatory agencies and
the laws that pertain to dredging and sediment reuse/
disposal.
CLE Services Include:
“Our professional staff
understands the
complexities of working
in and along the water.”
Hydrographic/Geophysical Surveys
CLE understands that accurate, meaningful field data
under-pins all engineering and scientific endeavors. As
a result, CLE has invested considerable resources in order
to make sure our in-house survey teams are extremely
qualified and utilize survey equipment representing the
best in recent technological innovations.
Our Certified Hydrographers and Survey Engineers work
closely with project managers in order to gain a clear
understanding of project goals. This understanding is
key when developing a field data collection plan that
ensures resultant data is collected in a manner such that
it further project understanding and goals. Meaningful and
accurate survey data ensure that site conditions are fully
understood - resulting in confidence that project goals will
be fully met.

Permitting & Regulatory Compliance
As a firm who works on both the land and water,
it is our job to ensure that projects are designed using
sound engineering principles and practices and are
in compliance with all governing local, state and federal
regulations. CLE determines site and environmental
impacts early on in the development of your project to
ensure that such impacts are avoided and/or minimized
to the greatest extent practicable. This, in turn, results
in a more time efficient and cost effective regulatory
review process. Having the in-depth knowledge and
understanding of the regulations that pertain to our
projects, gives CLE the ability to anticipate agency
concerns at the forefront of the permitting process. This
approach is the core basis of our successful track record
in seeking regulatory approvals for our designs.

Natural Resource Protection & Restoration
the potential to raise environmental concerns, whether
it be on land or water, and it is our job to figure out how
to achieve a harmonious balance within environmentally
sensitive and protected areas. CLE has been successfully
mitigating site and environmental impacts since 1987.
As the regulations protecting natural resources have
become increasingly challenging over the years, we
understand the boundaries from which we must develop
our designs. As a complement to the protection of natural
resources, CLE has also been at the forefront of many
restoration, water quality and habitat enhancement
projects, including salt marsh restoration projects through
the removal of tidal restrictions, eelgrass restoration and
shellfish seeding efforts.

Civil Engineering / Land Surveying & Development
Civil engineering requires expertise across a range of
engineering disciplines in order to take a project from
concept to reality. This range of expertise is reflected within
our civil engineering department which is comprised
of expert civil, structural, architectural and survey
engineers.
As with all of our projects and investigations, we start with
a solid foundation based on accurate survey and field
data, planned and executed by our survey crew.
Our in-house permitting experts then carry the project
through the zoning and regulatory constraints inherent
to all major land development and construction
engagements.
